Despite a higher bid of $5.83 per share from hedge fund Davidson Kempner, Vacasa's board endorsed Casago's lower bid of $5.30 per share. Davidson Kempner accused Vacasa of favoring certain shareholders, but Vacasa denied these claims, emphasizing its commitment to shareholder interests.

Vacasa Merger Controversy: Davidson Kempner's Criticism

Vacasa's merger with Casago, agreed at $5.30 per share, faces opposition from hedge fund Davidson Kempner. The fund, a Vacasa shareholder and creditor, has submitted a higher bid of $5.83 per share but claims the Special Committee is biased, favoring the insider-backed Casago deal. Davidson Kempner's new letter criticizes the committee for unfair practices, including tight deadlines and a limited waiver in the Tax Receivable Agreement, hindering fair evaluation of competing bids.
